Hey. Yeah, you. Me? Yep. Listen up. Comparison is a real struggle. It’s a real thing. A real thing that will really suck the life out of you if you let it. There are always going to be photographers with better websites and more fans and busier schedules and more destination weddings and better promotions and cuter outfits and … you get the point. You’ll always find something. Hey, you. You have to stop doing that. The comparison thing? Yeah, you really have to stop it. It doesn’t matter what ‘they’ are doing. They aren’t you. They’ll never be you. You need to get your focus back. Focus on you. On what you are doing. And then go DO WHAT YOU DO. Don’t do or be or wish anything else except you. Go. Do it.

This is perfect, thank you for writing it <3

These are wonderful words to live by! Still, I have to be just the tiniest bit boastful sometimes. I mean Thor and I had the *absolute BEST* wedding photographer. Can you really blame us?

On a serious note, I also love “The Desiderata” for some inspiration. 🙂 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiderata)

so true! Love your words and it’s amazing how every day we all have to remind ourselves that! 1. I think your fabulous 2. miss my RTR roomie! 3. I think your work is stunning EVERY DAY!!! xoxo
